Integration
Connect Affinity and Shade
When New List fires in Affinity, your agent runs Copy a File in Shade, or Asset Updated in Shade to Add field value in Affinity. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Affinity and Shade to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Questions
Affinity and Shade, answered
What can start an automation from Affinity?
Any of Affinity's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New List, New List Entry, New Opportunity and New Organization. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Shade when something happens in Affinity?
Any of Shade's 7 actions, including Create Folder, Copy a File, Find an Asset and Get Public Links for a File or Folder. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Shade to Affinity?
Yes. When something happens in Shade, your agent can act in Affinity too. This page covers both directions: Shade's triggers and Affinity's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Affinity or Shade?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Affinity and Shade without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
